FAQS

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?

We are in a very rural location and are incredibly lucky to have an abundance of wildlife that share our woodland with us and call it their home too. Therefore, we regret that pets are not permitted to stay at A Little Bit of Rough.

The woodland is also surrounded by farmland with livestock adjoining our site, which sometimes like to come for a visit too!

We kindly ask guests with pets to make sure they have made suitable arrangements for their furry loved ones in advance of their stay

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
